Black Hole was a really troublesome quirk. The master would have loved to take it when he fought All Might, but the danger of a frontal assault is too high, no regeneration could save someone from a black hole. It made using a body such as his difficult to use at times, but they're were plenty of advantages that trumped any disadvantages, such as redirecting assaults.
"13-sensei! We will assist you in any manner that you wish!" The student with a slight resemblance to ingenium in his costume shouted.
"No, step back, Bakugou and the others were lost because of recklessness, i'm not letting the same happen to you-" She was cut off by a portal opening up from behind her … leading straight into her black hole. "-SHIT!" She shouted, the back of her body slowly disintegrating.
"A strong quirk, but quite a bad matchup against mine you know." Kurogiri smirked as the body crumbled. "A shame, it would've been a nice quirk to study, but the master's desires come first."
"We need to let the teachers know." The girl with a scandalous outfit turned to the Ingenium copy. "Iida, go and get the teachers, you're the only one fast enough."
"No, I can't in good conscience leave you all in danger when I can…"
"Iida, you're the only one that can!" The girl shook the Inginium look alike. "I'm trusting you to save all of us! Be a real hero and get the help we'll need!"
"You all do realize I'm standing right here." He reminded them. "Saying your strategy in front of me is a-"
"Wait a minute." The tape dispenser looking student interrupted quite rudely, something he would have to discipline these kids about while stopping them. "How can you stand?"
"Does he have legs under that thing?" The pink girl asked.
"Does he even have a mouth? Or is he telepathic?" The big lipped boy asked. "Wait, but he warps. He can't have multiple quirks, right?"
"I most certainly have a mouth!" The demeanor of these brats was insulting, reminding him of the good old day-what good old days? His days were spent caring for the young master. Always.
"So you have a body then?" The tape student asked. "That means there's something to hit, right?" … Shit.
"I got you!" A masked student with multiple arms that he took his attention off of grabbed him by the collar. "Iida now! RUN!"
"Understood, I'll bring back help!" The boy shouted after a second of hesitation, rushing to the door.
"I won't allow it!" Kurogiri struggled, mist pouring off of his body and absorbing the kid's arm in. "I don't normally like to do this, but I was going to make an exception for All Might, and I guess you'll be fine too!" And cut the portal.
"FUCK!" He used the pain of the six armed student's to break free, rushing over to the ingenium copy.
"You will be sent into the abyss, young fool!"
"How about a parting gift before you do!?" The pink girl slid underneath his body and raised her hands. "Eat acid, evil doer!" That was so cheesy, just like his old friend..huh? He didn't have friends. Just the master and young Tomu…
"AGGGH!" The distraction in thought let it hit him, burning as his vision was taken. He could feel a tug on his collar.
"I got it, Sato, you're up!" Which one was sato, what was on his collar!?
"SUGAR RUSH!" A fury of fists took up his now returned vision, each one hurting more than the last. He resorted to a massive portal in front of him, sending the attacks somewhere he didn't care at the moment.
"Alright, now to finally-" He was cut off by a small poke in his side, looking down it was a metal wire … connected to a taser held by the indecent looking girl. He looked for anything in his old memories to help. "Now I know what you're thinking, should I press that button. And the answer may surprise you-"
"AGGGGH!" This was worse than the time Shouta and him with the tank of eels….wait...who was Shouta? And now that he thought about it..why did Eraserheads goggles look so familiar? It was research, yes. Research on 1-A, that was how he knew this, and felt strange.
"Iida's out!" He's what!? "We did it!" The indecent one that TASED him cheered on. The rest of the students smiled while he felt despair. He failed, he failed the young master, and now heroes were on their way here.
"If that's the case... I'll just have to kill you all faster." Multiple portals opened up. "Who wants to die first?"

"Left, right, down, up, down, left, ring around the rosie!" Iruma shouted directions to his partner as they navigated the building. "Don't worry, I've been chased like this multiple times. At least they don't seem to have guns on them like the others."
"Multiple..gunfire...dude seriously...what is your life!?" Jiro looked freaked out by something, Made sense, people were trying to kill them, but that was easy to live through if you knew what to do. "How are you this good at anticipating all their attacks?!"
"An-anticipate?" He was confused at the word. "I just see danger and dodge. That's what happens to me everyday."
"You're not even looking back, you're just dodging without thinking!" She shouted at him.
"I've gotten very good at seeing without looking." The trick was the corner of the eyes, and the ears. "For invisible people, they still occasionally cast a shadow so it's all about guessing where they are depending on where it points. That and you wouldn't believe how many times I've almost died trying to sleep outside."
"The class is really worried about you, you know?" She commented as they entered a room. Wait a second, the cracks, the pillar, the rocks …
"STOP!" He turned, holding his one hand out to the villains, surprisingly, they actually froze in place. "This is a very unstable area, we need to move carefully or the whole room collapses."
"Ha, like that's likely!" They didn't believe him.
"No, I'm serious! Look at all the cracks around the room! I've been in at least fifteen collapsing buildings in my life! I know when one's about to break down on top of you!"
"Fifteen, fifteen...HOW can you even be in so many!?" Jiro looked terrified. Sure it was scary, but it was normal scary.
"My parents often forget stuff in motel rentals and send me to retrieve them." Everyone was looking at him funny. "You know, the usual."
"The kid has a point." One villain spoke rationally. Thank you blade guy. "Look at the support beam, it's almost split in half. We walk in slowly, carefully, then capture them." That was all he asked.
"Here's a thought." Everyone turned to Jiro. "Since we're on the first floor, and the window is right next to us, why don't I just blast the room with sound, we escape, and leave you all to dig your way out?" The silence was deafening.
"... Because you're heroes in training, and hopefully very nice and merciful people?" A very good point.
"Fuck mercy, you trying to kill us now! Iruma, get ready!" Jiro cursed and sent her jacks into the wall. "Heatbeat distortion!" The room started to rumble and shake.
"Whoa, whoa, what the hell…" The bad guys started running all over the place, trying to not trip and fall but ultimately failed as the ceiling began falling over them, blocking the nearest window.
"Shit, I didn't think this through!" Jiro cried. "Okay, maybe if we.."
"Hang on!" Wasting no time, Iruma scooped Jiro in his arms and started running, "This'll get a little bumpy but keep your head down! This'll be close!"
"Clos..AGHHHH!" The girl screamed as a board of wood covered in rusty nails started to fall on them, but he tucked in rolled. A dirty pipe swung by his head, but he twirled out of its direction. A massive ditch that sank to the depths below opened below them, but he jumped over it easily enough.
The boy eventually found a hall with a single opening at the end, but the walls were collapsing. Despite the setback he rushed ahead like a reckless moron. "Get ready for a crash landing!"
"I'm not ready to die!" Jiro panicked as the walls were tumbling down as they ran.
"Neither am I, which is why we're going to live after this! I'll make sure of it!" Survival was the first thing he ever learned after all, well the second after learning that life's not fair.
"I'm sorry Iruma! I'm sorry I never talked to you before U.A!" Huh? What was she talking about? "We went to the same middle school! I only knew about you because you were called the Quirkless Helper!"
"Oh right, that nickname." It wasn't like that was an insult. In fact, that perfectly described who he is, well was, considering he had a quirk now. "Did I help you at least?"
"... The fuck is wrong with you!?" She asked as they finally escaped, panting in exhaustion. "... How can you … stay so … positive?" She asked him. Oh, was that what was confusing her, it was easy.
"Being sad and mopey doesn't change anything, so you just need to keep going. No point in doing something unproductive, right?"
Jiro looked even more confused. "I don't..I don't have any…" Jiro stumbled on her words as he wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you for being such a reckless bleeding heart. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't help you."
"But I wasn't in danger in school, I was in danger now." He really didn't understand what was going on. "You just saved us, didn't you?"
"I don't think a field of puppies roaming through a forest of Sakura trees can match how innocent you are." That was actually a nice thought. Sitting by cherry blossoms, having a nice warm fuzzy feeling as they fell down.

Ojiro POV Finally got to the end of the monologue, Ochako just drops all the rubble she's been building up and demolishes them.
"And that was the story of how I robbed my first bank." Ojiro was just embarrassed for the gang more so than the leader, the latter clearly had no shame. "But even that's small compared to what I used that money for. You see, my mother never supported me as I previously stated, but she was stuck in the hospital for a while.."
"Right, of course, the bad mom." He mentioned that fifteen times now. "Look, you're not the first bad parent story I heard this week, and trust me when I say yours is pitible at best compared to the last one I just heard."
"Of course it is, everyone always says that!" The man complained. "Your backstory is generic, your catchphrases are lame, well screw them! I have my own style and it still inspires fear, isn't that right pitiful woman? … Pitiful Woman?" Ojiro turned as well, noticing Uraraka vanished. "Where did she go!? Who was on watch?"
"Nobody! You made us listen to your biography for like the tenth time this month! You're the one that's closest to killing range towards the brats! That's all on you!"
"Well she couldn't have gotten far, it's a landslide area, there's no spot to hide." A whistling sound drew their attention up, craning their necks to see Uraraka waving at them … with a plethora of boulders.
"Hey everyone, who's ready to watch some comets?" She said nonchalantly, as if not holding everyone's lives in the palm of her hands, which was very much the case.
"...Would it help if I said I would've used the money they were going to pay us after this to start my own children's hospital?" The magma villain squeaked out.
"Aww, but you spent so many years on that lair it would be a shame to abandon it … unless you're lying to me right now." She brought her palms together, fingers not touching. "Five." Touching her pinky fingers together. "Four."
"Scatter men!"
"Three. Two. One." Now only the thumbs were left. "And we have liftoff!" The rocks began descending.
"Wait, but they're falling, doesn't that mess up the whole.."
"Don't talk to me about contradictions after what you just tried to pull on me!" Uraraka screamed, ignoring the panicked cires of destruction as the rocks and herself hit the ground. "Wow, a bit dizzy … Ojiro, little help?"
"You're scary when you want to be, you know that?" He nonetheless helped her on her feet.
"Figured i'd need to be a bit scary, I don't know why but Hagakure doesn't seem to like me very much." Gee, wonder why that was. "You think that took care of them?"
The groaning and wheezes of pain were a good indicator. "I'm certain. Let's get going before we start another tedious dialogue about how unfair life is."
"I know right? You don't see Iruma complain about it." That was true, a will of steel. "Although it was kinda funny how cheesy he was." No, it was just cringy.

Bakubro was super manly! Kirishima was taking on five people at once, and that guy was taking on ten, plus their leader! The dude was kinda scary in the Battle Trial, but here it was coming through just fine! "DIE!" How heroic!
"Alright, time to go Plus Ultra!" Kirishima shouted, punching harder against his group of villains, starting with the drill guy who's forehead was really dense. "Try drilling through this!" He punched down at the drill like it was a nail.
"Ow! Come on! A couple little snots shouldn't be this difficult!"
"We're just manlier than you, ain't that right?" Kirishima turned to his partner, who was grabbed by the electric villain. Fuck. "Bakugou!"
"One more move, and you go zap, understand?" The villain grinned under his mask. He needed to move over there and help. Bakugou, for his part, just grinned feral and aimed his free hand at the villain. "Your loss, moron!" The villain zapped Bakugou … and an explosion much larger than before took over the field. Eijiro raised both arms to block the assaulting shockwave.
The smoke cleared, revealing all the villains unconscious on the ground, and Bakugo barely looked scorched. "You just ignited an entire body's worth of nitroglycerin, you moron. Learn about your opponent as you fight them, that's combat 101."
"Wow..you just got even more manly!" And to think the guy gave off the impression of a rabid pomeranian. "You're just full of surprises, aren't you?"
"I just know how my quirk works, like any idiot in this world should." He looked, seeing no one left standing. "Now come on, there's a boss to beat the fuck out of." So manly! He may even be manlier than Iruma!

"So you responded to an offer by a memory that somehow, everyone here feels muggy about, joined Shigiraki even though everyone here feels he's a psychopathic manchild, and came here to act as numbers for taking on other teachers while the big 'thing' called a Nomu takes on All Might. Is that all?" Todoroki asked the frozen villain.
"Yeah, we met up in the forest, no warehouse or anything I swear."
"This is pointless." Hagakure slapped the villain's face with a groan. "Come on, we need to start meeting up with the others. Even if Nomu or whatever can beat All Might, we should group up with everyone else, strength in numbers and all that."
Todoroki looked at her, confused. "But I work alone." His quirk caused too much collateral when he needed to get serious, being able to create glaciers without worry would work wonders. "Besides, we don't even know where they're meeting up. Are they just leaving as fast as possible or staying by the front entrance?"
"Could be both." She.....shrugged? "Bakugo is probably heading to the villains to attack them." That did sound like the student. "And Iruma-kun is always trying to avoid danger, but he'll probably be heading there to swoop in and save whoever's in trouble...ah so noble." He was glad he couldn't see the lovesick expression she clearly was wearing on her face.
"You're oddly affectionate for someone you've known for less than a week." It was none of his business, but he felt like he needed to say it outloud just to point out the ridiculousness of it. "Don't know how such a moron got All Might's attention." There was a theory he had, but it wasn't anything solid.
"Hey, don't you start that again, you insensitive jerk! I'm not afraid to get messy!" The invisible approached him...probably, and he suddenly felt something press against his chest. "I have an invisible stick and I'm not afraid to use it!"
"Where'd you get an invisible stick?"
"It's the one item the support department actually gave me."
"Where do you carry it?"
"..." Her silence was very telling. Either she was lying or she stuck it up her- "Doesn't matter, the point is we should go to everyone else!" She cut off his train of thought.
"Like I said, I work best alone, so excuse me." He gave a polite bow before walking off.
"You bastard, get back here now!" She shouted futility. Please tell him no one else had to deal with someone this bad?

Denki loved the frog lady, she was so nice, carrying him with her tongue. "Are we sure he's okay? He's just been giving me thumbs up this whole time."
"Weiii!" He reassured them. His brain's perfectly a-okay! They were the coolest friends he could ask for.
"Eh, he's probably fine. We just need to keep him off his feet and make sure he doesn't wander off." Yes grape man, he did wander off, everything was super pretty after all. "Now we just need to get past the hand guy and that brain monster. We can't possibly face them on our own."
"Right. Can't afford to distract Aizawa-sensei either. This is going to be close." Froggy lady nodded her head. "Hopefully someone was able to break out and reach the school. This is a disaster."
"Tell me about it. Wish I had whatever crazy dodging power Iruma has. That guy can avoid anything."
"Didn't he get that from his apparently trashy life?" Frog girl said. Hey that was mean, life isn't trashy, it's sparkly.
"Okay, so it's probably the result of living with pricks for parents, but can you deny the effectiveness? Completely avoided Bakugo and a mob of students without being scratched a single time." Yeah, avoiding stuff was fun, like dancing!
"It's too depressing to think about now. Let's just swim out of here before…" Frog girl looked at the big bird in the distance holding hobo-sensei to the ground. Were they playing leapfrog? Ha, they had the advantage here, they actually had a frog!
"Weii!" Denki wanted to play too!
"Hush you idiot!" Ooh, grape guy wanted to play deep diver. He was trying to make him go underwater like a fish! He wasn't a fish! Such a silly guy. "Are we sure drowning him unconscious isn't an option? It's either that or they find us." He spoke to the frog girl. Oh, hide and seek! He gave them the okay sign.
"Aizawa-sensei…" The girl was still looking at the hobo. No, she was looking at someone else. The handy guy was reaching towards them. Maybe he could lend a hand. Heh. Denki was so funny.
"I guess I can kill some brats, since All Might won't show up, it will ruin his reputation at the very least." The handy man was on them, reaching out to touch them. Oh no, they lost hide and seek!
"Look out!" Everyone stopped to see Irururu come up, throwing a rock at the handy guy. Wait, were they playing catch now? Handy man seemed to think so, catching it.

Tomura turned the pebble to dust, looking at the offender. A blue haired brat in a school track suit. There was no costume at all, unless the cheap mask and sheet around his neck counted as one. "Really, a rock? That's your best move? And you called attention to it."
"Well I wasn't trying to hurt you. I just didn't want you to grab Tsu's face. That's rude to do without her permission." … What?
"Iruma … you ran … so fast." Spoke some earphone chick, looking up. "What the hell were you thinking!?"
"That I should stop him from being rude, that's what." Seriously, what?
"You do realize I'm trying to kill your class right?" He asked the boy.
"I thought you were trying to kill Bunny-sensei?" The blue haired brat spoke with confusion.
"Who the fuck is Bunny-sensei?!" His patience was running thin.
"Oh right, everyone keeps calling him All Might, I keep forgetting that, though that kinda sounds silly the more I say it." Tomura stared quietly at the kid for a solid five seconds, before slowly bursting out into laughter. All Might, the bunny-sensei, that was a riot!
"Okay, you've got my attention brat. What's your name?" Tomura tensed his hand.
"Oh, I'm Iruma Suzuki! Nice to meet you!" The kid responded with one hundred percent sincerity. Was this guy a moron or what?
"Iruma, don't greet the villain, he's trying to kill us!" The grape brat shouted out, stating the obvious.
"Is he? He's just talking to us."
"Iruma." The frog girl spoke. "What happened when he touched the rock?"
"It turned into tiny pebbles."
"Now imagine what would have happened if he touched my face."
"It would have turned into tiny faces!?" Alright, that was getting just a tad annoying.
"Iruma...if he's trying to kill Bunny-sensei, then he's willing to kill us!" Earphone girl shook him. "We're ALL in danger here!."
"But if he just wants to kill Bunny-sensei, why does he need to kill us? It seems kinda pointless doesn't it?" Huh?
"What do you mean? If I kill you brats then I prove All Might can't save everyone." Perfectly sound reasoning
"Well of course he can't save everyone, he lives in the city, he can't move that fast … can he? No, I don't think so at least." What do you know, this kid wasn't a blind worshiper. That was oddly refreshing. "But do you want to prove he can't save everyone or kill him? Doing both is just kind of redundant."
"Of course I...huh...that's actually a good point." He's spent so much time hating the very idea of All Might he never really settled on what to do with it.
"Also killing so many people instead of just one is stupid, everyone wants to survive, so people are just going to hate you if you go around hurting others for reasons like that." The kid's classmates were staring in legitimate horror at the conversation, but he could care less. For some reason he understood this kid perfectly.
"Really? Sensei always said I should just kill whatever annoys me. It makes me feel less crappy and itchy." He didn't want to kill someone cool like Eraserhead, but turning his arm to dust did make him feel better.
"Well I'm annoyed by a lot of things. Always getting told to do pointless jobs by my parents, painting the driveway, hunting live boars, working overtime because they need a new washing machine." Wow, he should have just killed those guys already. "But killing them is pointless, it won't change the situation and all it does is make them think you care about them. I don't even want to think about them at all. Half the time I forget what they look like until I see them."
"So what, you're just going to suffer for the rest of your life, without any out?" He asked the boy. "You're never going to tell them no or fight off, run away, kill them?"
"I mean what can I do? I'm a teenager, I can't live without a family." So he had no sensei. He remembered what it was like on the streets, that boy wouldn't last a week. "Besides, they taught me to help people when they ask for it, so I'm helping people. It feels nice to see someone smile."
"So even bastards like your parents corrupted you with that heroic idealism." Even the closest person he's come to empathize with was tainted.
"I'm not corrupted, I never once have littered." He saluted.
"What, no, I mean you want to help people, that's corrupted!" Tomura shouted at the boy.
"How is helping people corrupted?"
"Because…" Once again, that was another good point. "It's because All Might is in the picture! You can only get help in this world if people try to act like him!"
"That's not true at all!" He shouted. "I help my parents and classmates all the time, and they don't get buff, shout multiple speeches of the heart, and make you lift garbage like Bunny-sensei! … Well maybe they do the last one, but for different reasons entirely!"
"What the fuck is going on?" He could idly hear the grape head mutter in shock.
"The stupidest conversation that ever stupid." Earphone girl slapped her forehead.
"... You made a fair point." He caved. "Maybe I need to show people that you don't need heroes, not that you don't need All Might."
"Exactly, you don't need to be a hero to help people!"
"You...for the first time since I've met sensei, you are the first person I've met in years that makes perfect sense."
"REALLY!?" The other kids and even Eraserhead with his damaged face yelled out in confusion.
"Oh, thanks! Glad I can help!" He'd spare them for now.
"Kurogiri, we're leaving." He waved over to the mist man, making his way closer to his getaway.
"Are you sure sir, we still could do so much." The man tried to argue.
"Nah, the Iruma kid over there made me realize there's another approach I can take, besides we'll leave the Nomu for the heroes to deal with."
"Leave what now?" Iruma asked with a tilted head.
"Nomu, ignore any kids, murder everyone else." He spoke to the creature, as it proceeded to go back to slamming Eraser Head into the pavement. "Thanks kid. If you don't die later, I'd like to talk again."
